Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our world today. It is caused by increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants that collect in the atmosphere and intensify the natural greenhouse effect, causing average surface and lower atmospheric temperatures to rise globally. To address this complex problem will require coordinated international cooperation to transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources and implement other solutions that can help mitigate the risks of climate change and ensure a sustainable future for coming generations.
